Welcome to the Paulding County, Ohio Probate/Juvenile Division of the Paulding County Court of Common Pleas, Probate & Juvenile Divisions. We hope you find this website easy to use.
The Probate Court’s jurisdiction is often times charged with the responsibility of acting in the public’s interest and looking out for those that cannot or will not look out for themselves. It is this philosophy that guides the operation of the Paulding County Probate Court.
The Juvenile Court’s guidelines are as follows:
To provide for the care, protection and mental and physical development of children.
To protect the public interest in removing the consequences of criminal behavior and the taint of criminality from children committing delinquent acts and to substitute, therefore, a program of accountability, supervision, care, and rehabilitation. To achieve the foregoing purposes whenever possible in a family environment, separating the child from his or her parents only when necessary for his or her welfare or in the interests of public safety. And to provide judicial procedures through which the parties are assured a fair hearing where their constitutional and other legal rights are recognized and enforced.
All while keeping with Paulding County’s Motto: “No Compromise”.
